Grimms' Fairy Tales is a collection of fairy tales gathered and edited by the Brothers Grimm, whose first volume appeared in 1812.
This compilation includes some of the best-known tales the brothers collected, among them Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, and Snow White, which appears here under its older name, Snowdrop.
This is a very enjoyable read, in which most of the stories take up just a few pages but have enough content to have a good background. As magical as it is enchanting and at times somewhat dark, in this reading you will delve into many of the most classic and well-known European fairy tales.
The complete list of the 62 stories collected in this volume are:
